1. Go back to using an ini file instead of writing to the registry. Those of us without administrative privileges are stuck with older NS versions, and forget about WS!

2. When I'm using NS to browse through folders, I can double-click on a folder to open it in Explorer. Enhance that feature so that I can specify (In the NS configuration screens) the use of a filemanager other than Explorer.

3. A VWM applet for WS. Wanda was about as nonfunctional as you could get; cute, but not particularlyl helpful. I, for one, could do without the long-awaited dock, but a VWM that could be integrated into WS or the NS startbar would be a real, functional asset.

4. Refine and include something like Nick's CallHotSpot executable, so that we can open NS menus from other (i.e. non-NS) applications or shortcuts. For instance, I might use it to start a specific NS menu from an ObjectDock shortcut or from AveDesk.

On the eyecandy side:

4. Use of PNGs or other file formats so that we can have skins with selective transparency.

5. The ability to design more "freeform" menus. For example, most (if not all) of the Objectbar themes I've seen lately are replicating the XP-style start menu, with two parallel columns of menu buttons. AFIK, you can't do that with NS at this point.

something i really miss in windows: a good file manager (like the one in nextstep or the mac os x one). winbrowser is slow and does not "feel" right. in nextstart, however, there is already something similar (when it makes you navigate to a file) that feels much better. maybe you could expand on that and make it part of nextstart... or even a separate application.

I've asked in the past for a "shelf in a shelf". But perhaps
there are other more efficient alternatives toward the same
goal. For instance, what about a special command that allows
the launching of other shelf sets? Or a side-scrolling
WorkShelf?

Just because I don't reply in here please don't automatically assume I don't read and/or care about your suggestions: nothing can be further from the truth, in fact some of the suggestions in here are already on the to-do list and will eventually be implemented.

Feedback and user suggestions are VERY important to me, so please keep them comming!

Hmmm... Create an 'Auto Run' hotspot associated to a menu created with the Menu Editor that contains a single entry: System Uptime. Don't forget to give the hotspot a unique group name so the associated menu always remains on the screen.
